Description of my issue:
I am looking to integrate the AKeeba system restore points in my component. Your documentation mentions a 'developer page with the information. Despite lookingf I cannot find the page or any specific details of the 'restorepoints' and the expected information.

Looking at the ARS distribution (as an example) I can make a pretty good guess, but wondered if it is documentated anywhere and if so could you please direct me to the location?

Thank you

Thank you. It works a treat (as one has come to expect from your work.)

I have double checked and there doesn't appear to be a link on your web site to the 'Walkthroughs' page, but now I have it bookmarked I am fine. Whether there should be I am am not sure, but mention in case there should be and it has been omitted for some obscure reason.

Hello Geoff,

There is a link, but you will only see if you click on the docs link in the top menu of our site. It is not very visible, but it is there. Perhaps I need to add it to the drop-down menu.

Yes I stand corrected. One has to click on the 'Docs' heading itself and then scroll down the list to fine 'Walkthoughs'. It isn't on the drop down list and that was what I was expecting, incorrectly in this case.

Well, your expectation is quite rational. Almost everything else is in that menu. I just left out a few bits I thought would be confusing to most people :)
